MSVC does not advertise itself as C99 via `__STDC_VERSION__`, but
supports variadic macros in all curl-supported versions. Fix by
explicitly enabling C99 verbose string logic for MSVC.
With verbose logging enabled (default), this makes logging perform
better, on par with clang/gcc (and other C99) builds. (With the cost
of extra binary size.) With verbose logging disabled, it excludes all
verbose logging related strings and code from the binary. Before this
patch, MSVC used the C89 fallback code in both configs, which used
a fixed function call, with the called function deciding to actually
log or not, while also retaining the verbose log string in both configs.
Size comparison (bytes), schannel, static, debug, VS2022, local build:

curl-before-noverbose.exe 4,013,056
curl-after-verbose.exe 4,117,504
curl-after-noverbose.exe 3,928,064
